Spoems - Toyota robot violinist

Toyota robot violinist

Back


Toyota's robot violinist has 17 computer-controlled joints in its arms and fingers, which allow it to hold the violin, gently draw the bow, and correctly press the strings against the fingerboard. In a recital held at a Toyota showroom in Tokyo on December 6, the 152-centimeter (5-ft) tall humanoid entertained guests with a rendition of "Pomp and Circumstance."

Perfect if the audience is all robots programmed to clap at the end of the concert.

I will not consider these robots to be worth the price tag until they come out with a robot: 1.) with the full range of motion that a human has 2.) the intuition to use that dexterity to its full measure 3.) compensation for extenuating circumstances (ie. low battery lol)

This type of technology is useless and will only bring the loss of musicians worldwide.
